Scrub up on your singing, gather your guitars, dig out the drums! The Big Busk for Focus Ireland, proudly supported by Today FM, is back and will take place in Kilkenny on Friday, (April 12), giving everyone a chance to play a part in the fight to end
homelessness.

Busking events in aid of Focus Ireland will be held across the country, including at MacDonagh Junction in Kilkenny throughout April 12, and the homelessness charity, in partnership with Today FM, are calling for talented musicians, choirs, singers, buskers, community groups and schools – whether they are solo artists, or part of a group – to sign up for The Big
Busk and help raise funds toward vital homeless services.

Participants can get involved at one of The Big Busk events in Cork, Dublin, Kilkenny, Limerick and Sligo, or by gathering their family, friends, neighbours or colleagues and organising their own event in their local community, at a location of their choosing, or even online. You can also support by donating at todayfm.com/busk or through
your Revolut app.

The Big Busk campaign, now in its third year, has raised over €615,000 in funds to date for Focus Ireland’s vital homelessness services.
